Productive and fun working place with ongoing training and opportunity to progress

TEAM MEMBER (Former Employee) - Albany WA - 5 February 2020

Would recommend if you are keen in customer service and giving advice about store products. Great way to learn about products, trade, and to get trained.

Management Sucks

Casual Team Member (Current Employee) - Warrawong NSW - 22 January 2020

The team is really great but the management sucks, they treat us badly if they don't like us and you get in trouble if you can't do holidays as a casual.

Working at Bunnings is great, you learn a lot of customer service and gain alot of knowledge in different areas of the business and trainning is always available if you needed.

Stressful Workplace

Team Member (Part Time) (Former Employee) - Mentone VIC - 8 January 2020

The interview process was relaxed, the managers, regional managers came across polite and friendly. Training was basic. Was told I would have a work buddy during first cpl of shifts - never happened. Learned quickly that floor staff have a poor relationship with management - found out why. Bunnings are very “community” focused - very much about there brand and pleasing customers. No matter how hard you try, a disgruntled customer who is having a bad day can make a complaint simply because you couldn’t find something quickly enough and that is enough to annoy the managers. They are more worried about keeping customers happy - your not there priority. You can be bullied, harassed and you have no one from management to help you. If you try to say anything your shifts dry up and your let go - “business decision”... at least a dozen have left my store over past few weeks due to the managers. Take my advice - try something else!

Pros

Team members are in the same boat and rely on each other

Cons

Poor management

Poor Management

Team Member (Former Employee) - Mentone VIC - 7 January 2020

Working on the floor can be difficult yet rewarding. Long hours standing. Great teams members, only problem is management. Bunnings philosophy is all about keeping customers happy - no matter what! If you blink the wrong way, management pounce on u. It’s a blame first culture. A lot of bullying and intimidation from above. Research the culture - highly recommended avoiding Bunnings. Not worth the stress!

managment needs work

g2 team member (Former Employee) - Melton VIC - 7 January 2020

There is a lack of trained and knowledgeable management which really shows. Not just in the knowledge of the items in the areas they are the leaders of but just simple things like rostering and communication.

Depends on your Manager To Be Honest

Team Member (Former Employee) - Support - 6 January 2020

The Co-workers you will befriend are what make the job so amazing. Apart from that, management are mainly concerned about achieving their monthly budgets to display a "good" image and earn a bonus or promotion, meanwhile turning a blind eye to properly reducing Safety Incidents. Honestly, Great Pay for Casuals and decent for contracted Team. However, job security is very poor and your chances of picking up a contract after starting as casual are slim to none.

A good team culture

Team Member- Toolshop (Former Employee) - Wodonga VIC - 30 December 2019

I absolutely loved working at Bunnings, the team culture was second to none, I would recommend the job to anyone. In the busy times, everyone pulls together, team members help out throughout the store. The management, also get their hands dirty, by spending more time on the floor.

Good people, hard work, family friendly

TEAM MEMBER (Former Employee) - Whitfords - 7 December 2019

I loved working at Bunnings - a good team culture only thing is if you aren't one of the old, entrenched people who have worked there forever... they will only employ very young people (14-15) who they can pay low wages to. Hard to get your foot back in the door if you leave

Pros

Team mates

Cons

Management, cost cutting

Productive and encouraging workplace- I miss it

Team Member (Part Time) (Former Employee) - Cockburn WA, Port Kennedy WA - 8 November 2019

Awesome environment working alongside like minded people bringing a wide range of dreams to life. I really enjoyed dealing with the public bar a few abusive customers. Bunnings is the only place I have worked where they train you for everything :safety regularly,sales,theft and loss prevention, acknowlodgement for great customer service, etc. The only issue now is that I have been trying to get back into their workforce and have been unsuccessful twice after getting through to the final part and then been told that it was due to a high caliber of applicants. Very disappointing

Productive and hands on work place

Casual team member (Current Employee) - Lidcombe NSW - 23 September 2019

Great retail store to work at. Mostly organised, would definitely recommend to a friend who is looking for a retail job. I have learnt a-lot at my time at Bunnings, literally knew next to nothing when I started my first shift but now I have extensive product knowledge, which is quite handy.

Excellent workplace

Team Member (Part Time) (Current Employee) - Pakenham VIC - 6 August 2019

Bunnings has been a fantastic place to work, my staff are extremely supportive and encourage me to push myself and gain more responsibility. Management is very encouraging and allow me to expand my skills in any direction I want. My autonomy and skills in work have grown significantly since being part of this work force.
